Not too far gone. The voltage indicates that. The sulfation in those two cells were blocking charging and generating heat. The sulfation could be reversed using battery chemicals.
@filipkof Yeah, it would be shorts, i looked inside the cell, with the aid of a bright light, you can actually see the plates are disintegrated & they are touching, thats why it would have got so hot, 4 Volts Too short, Battery is only holding 8 Vols now
The battery i mentioned few days ago is dead too, one cell has broken terminal showing about 20ohms and gets damn hot when charging... that electrolyte was all over my hands then, but it was at least discharged :D desulfator is already on the way, will try in my car, battery's not starting that good as it was when it was new... do you know what causes those cells get so hot ? shorts inside ?
Each cell in a lead acid battery produces 2.1 volts, therefore a battery with six cells would produce 12.6 volts when fully charged. Your video showed a volt meter reading of 12.13 volts. If two cells were shorted they would produce 0 volts and the voltage reading should be around 8 volts. I don't think you had two shorted cells.

It was totally dead
A mixture of baking soda and distilled water can be used to help rinse out cells which appear dead and shorted .worth a try anyway cheers Bill
When you get the cells to hot they short more then the battery really dies

Cool works well!, pitty about the last two cells tho.

hmm i didn't know desulfators actually worked at all.
what tests do you made by the multimeter

Scrap it,it's too far gone..
@KrankieV2 This one here Actually Does :D
Did that ages ago!
@mattyvt93 They're Too far Gone :(
another video that isn't pointed at what they are talking about.... and when it is it is out of focus....really?
Smell hydrogen? Good luck with that. ;) Hydrogen doesn't smell.
Meant sulphur lol ;-}
short it out and maybe it will explode :P, or run a extension cord and plug it into 220 v ac !
